| Re: lowest price yet for Pentax K20D I swear these DSLRs are like pokemon- gotta catch 'em all!
I'm up to 7 DSLRs in less than 2 years of substantive photography interest. Think I may have a problem? (Canon, Pentax, and Nikon)
If this one hits the $450 mark any time soon for a new full-warranty unit I may have to go to 8 DSLRs.

What good does it do to have a bunch of dSLRs? You can only use 2 at a time (one for each hand/eye pair). | |

Actually I do use all of them regularly.
I bring a pentax k10d with macro lens to work every day for when the spiders/beetles/assorted creepy crawlies show up,
a pentax k100d w/ telephoto to work for whenever stuff happens in the pond out back or to have with me in the car for general photo ops that appear on the road
a pentax k10d with a bigma lens for when I go to sunny & scenic destinations
a canon rebel XTi (400D) on a tripod facing my back yard which I keep a tamron 400mm lens on for backyard wildlife
a canon original rebel 300D that I had loaned out to a friend, I need to find a use for it since it was just returned a couple days ago
a nikon d100 that I keep a 50mm f/1.8 that I have been using when I walk around my neghborhood lately
and a nikon d50 that I have been playing around with that has an 18-70 fun walk-around lens.
(The two nikons were just acquired for a couple hundred bucks for the pair, so I am still not as used to them)

| Re: lowest price yet for Pentax K20D Not when you consider that each body's sensor has different characteristics. (Except for my two k10ds)
My 100d is better for low light, my 10ds are better for general walkaround and telephoto, my canon xti is better for sky or long exposure shots, my nikons are better for landscapes...

I got almost 5 years out of my Pentax DS and intend to get as much out of my K20D as possible. Still, nowhere near the longevity of old film bodies, I guess! Then again very few shot film frames at the rate anyone and everyone does on digita today with just no cost erase it if not rightl.
Flim cameras might have lasted 25+ years, but most likely only less than 10-20K frames shot over all that time, if that. Maybe a few pros but no/extremely few amatures, would ever cross that with the phisical cost and uncertainty of film (just shoot one shot and hope for the best).

there is absolutely nothing wrong with my DS with 25,000 shots on it.. it's also about 5 years old..
i think the k20d will do better..
build on this reminds me of the MX. solid as a rock..
